A Spain-bound United Airlines flight out of Newark turned around mid-flight on Saturday because a teenager named his Fitbit “bomb” and it popped up on available Bluetooth devices, officials and sources said.
The plane took off from Newark Liberty International Airport at about 6 p.m., but landed back at Newark by roughly 9:30 p.m after security was flagged to inspect a suspicious Bluetooth device onboard that showed up as “bomb,” sources told The Post.
